COMFORT ZONE

Comfort zone is a place we all are tempted to remain, where you don't have to stretch yourself to achieve anything.

Where you are successful with just a few things you have achieved, a place where there is no struggle no competition, no wanting more, nothing difficulty. Wow this sounds like heaven.

The best things in life are often waiting for you at the exit ramp of your comfort zone.
Karen Salmansohn

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

DANGERS OF COMFORT ZONE
Comfort zone sounds like heaven but it is nothing near heaven; in heaven everything is perfect but in comfort zone everything is imperfect but accepted.
It is dangerous to settle for comfort zone. Comfort zone prevent you from growing, from daring to be different; your choices are strictly aligned with the norm, nothing new, nothing unpredictable. You get stock at a point. Like they say;

It won't take long for stagnant water to start smelling.
African proverb

When you stay in a comfort zone it won't be long before you get rusty and at times comfort zone turns an expert to a clueless chest beater. Comfort zone makes you stink.
Comfort zone feels good at the initial stage but with time it frustrates you and limit your thinking, comfort zone is capable of taking your choices away from you.

the second most dangerous place to be behind hell is comfort zone.

WHEN DOES A PLACE BECOMES COMFORT ZONE
Comfort Zone is not completely bad, it can help to indicate when to move to the next level but aside this; it is a dangerous place to be. Have you ever had success at something you are trying to do and you get so carried away with the success that you don't try anything new anymore, that is a form of comfort zone. Have you ever had to be helped where you get everything you want but not with any effort from you; that is a comfort zone. Anything you get used to, that has stopped you trying to do new things can be comfort zone.

comfort zone is a situation where one feels safe or at ease or a settled method of working that requires little effort and yields only barely acceptable results.

THE MYTH OF PAST GLORY
We are all tempted to boast of our past achievement but no matter how good what we did in the past might be, it is not as important as what we are doing presently.

the past is overrated
dammieyale

*show me a man that glories all the time in past achievement; then I will show you a man whose present is failing and whose future is shaky

GETTING OUT OF COMFORT ZONE IS INTENTIONAL
Comfort zone is so attractive and addicting that it takes only deliberate actions backed up with diligence for one to escape comfort zone. Getting out of comfort zone is a choice and staying in comfort zone too is a choice; if you will stay or leave comfort zone is totally your choice and no one can make this choice for you.

The comfort zone is the great enemy to creativity; moving beyond it necessitates intuition, which in turn configures new perspectives and conquers fears.
Dan Stevens

As you move outside of your comfort zone, what was once the unknown and frightening becomes your new normal.
